If you want to slow the ruck down while in possession...give Parker more minutes.
I always feel sorry for the guys running the next play after stat man takes the ball forward.

Parker, Harrison and Gillett are all way too similar in style ... Taylor and Papali should be in after the NSWailers sneak a narrow win in game one ... Qld to then take the series 2-1 after which the competition will have to change its name to State of Queensland because we own it :)
Please don't ever put Gillett in the same class as Parker.
Gilletts decision making as a back rower is the best the the comp...I really struggle to see how the Broncos can get a win without him and Hodges.
Most positional advantage the Broncos get is from the back of a defensive play by Gillett....without these plays, Prince will have limited attacking opportunities.
Don't disagree with that in regard to the Broncos, however, at Origin level collectively they fall a long way short of what's required ... one of them no problems but three is underwhelming, imho.
I hope my dreams are not crushed tomorrow night and the Maroons get the series off with a win.
Sitting at the computer working on an assignment, tv on next to me. Muted the volume, because if I hear Tom Waterhouse's smarmy voice I'm gonna put a brick through the TV. ABC call through the computer!
That pre match entertainment.
Well.
I'm assuming they went to a few bars around Oxford street and got one of the floor shows.
FFS..........
Gallen is absolute filth. Swinging arm on Myles. Then punches up Myles who didn't have his dukes up. Coward.
Jennings try was tremendous.
It's pretty clear that the Blues are playing at Origin level, and us Maroons aren't within cooee of it. The boys will have to pull off a miracle just to get back into the game, fortunately Mal might just bring the lads around.
As usual, Gallen making a mug of himself. Not to worry, I'm fairly confident the favour will be returned, in the second..
